Well, he does have a point. I guess it became too much to endure.

This is going to suck big time for GA. The TSA is probably drooling right now.

Damn, that is the first time I've ever actually empathized with a suicide note.

Media says he did not file a flight plan.

No doubt this fellow had a screw loose but that being said it is a wonder this type of thing doesn't happen more often.

And no doubt some stupid new rules lay in store for GA in an effort to make everyone feel safe.

I wonder if Stack was obsessed with the movie Falling Down?

If this country had more die-hards like Mr. Stack, perhaps we could see some modest reform.

"Joe Stack", clearly a Middle Easterner. Yep, racial profiling would have nailed this guy!
